With the win, the Mavericks advance to the NBA Playoffs, and will now face the #1 seeded Oklahoma City Thunder. That’s certainly going to be a difficult test for Dallas, but anything is possible. On a positive note, at least the team can celebrate playoff appearance, though it could be short-lived. You almost wonder what their outlook would look like if a certain superstar was still with the team.
With the loss, the Memphis Grizzlies’ season comes to a surprising end. The Western Conference was simply too talented this year, forcing Memphis (48-34) to play in the Play-In tournament. Unfortunately for them, their season comes to an abrupt end. Now it’s up to the front office to build this roster and avoid the same mistakes next year.
